Resolving Javascript Error Invalid assignment left-hand side

 

Most probably this is actually a syntax error. This pertains to proper use of operators such as incorrectly switching double "=="
to single "="

When you check for a value, you put "==" double equal signs rather than single "=" equal sign.
With single "=", you are actually assigning a value to a variable.
 

Example incorrect code that generates the Error "Invalid assignment left-hand side":
------------------
if (varA = varB) {
   varA == nlapiSetFieldValue('fieldA');
}
------------------

Correct code:
------------------
if (varA == varB) {
   varA = nlapiSetFieldValue('fieldA');
}
------------------

Calculating the Est. Gross Profit and Est. Gross Profit Percent when Discount is Applied

The standard formula in calculating the Estimated Gross Profit is as follows:

 

Sales –Est. Extended Cost = Est. Gross Profit

 

Where:

Sales = refers to the total quantity multiplied with the unit price of the item

Est. Extended Cost = based on the Cost Estimate Type of the item multiplied with total quantity of the item

 

While to get the Est. Gross Profit Percent, we use this formula:

 

Est. Gross Profit / Sales = Est. Gross Profit Percent

 

To better illustrate, take this example:

Item A

Quantity = 1

Sales Price = $ 15.00

Est. Extended Cost = $ 9.00

Est. Gross Profit = $ 6.00 ($ 15.00 – $ 9.00)

Est. Gross Profit Percent = 40% ($6.00 / $ 15.00)

 

In addition, the formula will vary if there is a discount applied to the transaction. The Est. Gross Profit will now be calculated based on the following:

 

Sales – Discount – Est. Extended Cost = Est. Gross Profit

 

Est. Gross Profit / (Sales – Discount) = Est. Gross Profit Percent

 

In the given example above and a discount for $2.00, we will get the following results:

Est. Gross Profit = $ 4.00 ($15.00 - $ 2.00 - $ 9.00)

Est. Gross Profit Percent = 30.77% ($ 4.00 / $ 13.00 ($15.00 - $ 2.00))

PayFlow Pro Declines Credit Card Authorization Requests When Processed Through Commonwealth Bank (Australia)

PayFlow Pro explained that they decline the authorizationrequests because Commonwealth Bank does not support authorization. Because ofthis NetSuite can only process credit card transaction on the time of payment(via Cash Sale or Customer Payment page). 

Consequently, user should disable the Require Authorization for Credit Card Transactions (via Setup > Web Site > Set Up Web Site) and  the Get Authorizationon Customer Center Sales Orders preference (via Setup > Accounting > Accounting Preferences).

Manually Created Journal Entries Posted to Withholding Tax Account do not Show in Withholding Tax Reports

Journal entries for withholding taxes are automatically created through the use of Philippines Bundle (ID=15336). The bundle does not allow modification of WT journal entries due to audit purposes (see Enhancement 195801). 


Because of this, some users attempt to create a manual journal entries to change the outcome of the withholding tax reports (Form 1601-E, Form 2307 and MAP). However, a manually created journal entry will not be included in these reports even if it is posted to a Withholding Tax account.


This is due to the following reasons:


  1. The withholding tax reports are driven by a hidden custom field (checkbox) in the journal entry form called WT Tax Line.
  2. This custom column field is hidden because the Display Type  is set to Disabled  and a script in a journal entry form called Journal Entry Restrict Edit - UE hides it.
  3. Since the WT Tax Line is locked by the bundle, there is no way that users can mark this. Thus manual journal entries do not form part of the withholding tax reports.


Supervisor Approval Box Does Not Display on the Purchase Order Form

The Supervisor Approval check box disappears when if user marksthe Purchase Orders checkbox (Setup > Accounting > Accounting Preferences > Approval Routing). It will be replaced bythe Approval Status selection field instead.

3. The Currency Revaluation as a reversing entry recorded in the next available period

Booking Confirmation Number and when it it Required in FedEx Shipment

Booking refers to an advance "reservation" or confirmation made in the FedEx booking system for shipment being tendered to FedEx by a shipper. The FedEx Express Freight services which require booking are: FedEx 1Day Freight, FedEx International Priority Freight and FedEx International Economy Freight.

 

A Booking Confirmation Number is assigned for all shipments that have been assigned space on a plane. This number is proof that a "reservation" has been made for the shipment in the FedEx booking system.

Space must be booked for all FedEx 1DaySM Freight, International Priority Freight, and International Economy Freight shipments. FedEx Ship Manager can prepare your shipment and generate a booking number, or you may call FedEx to book a shipment.

 

In the U.S., call FedEx Express Freight Customer Service at 1.800.332.0807. In Canada, call 1.800.Go.FedEx® or 1.800.463.3339. For all other locations, see the Contact Information screen for your local FedEx Customer Service telephone number.     

Booking confirmation is also required for FedEx 2Day Freight® and FedEx 3DaySM
Freight shipments, if the total from one origin location exceed 20,000 lbs. (9,091 kg). Please call FedEx Express Freight Customer Service at 1.800.332.0807 to schedule a shipment.

Tax Codes Appear Twice on the Customer Record even when Tax Code List Include is set to Tax Groups Only or Tax Codes Only

Under Setup > Accounting > Set Up Taxes > United States tab, the Tax Code Lists Include dropdown field is not applicable to Customer records. Even if you set the Tax Code Lists Include dropdown field to Tax Groups Only or Tax Codes Only, both Tax Groups and Tax Codes would still be available for selection on the Tax Item field within the Customer Record > Financial tab.

 

The selection made on the Customer Record would supersede the choice selected on the Tax Code Lists Include dropdown field under the Setup > Accounting > Set Up Taxes > United States tab. For example, the Tax Code Lists Include is set to Tax Codes Only. If you select a Tax Group at the Tax Item field within the Customer record, that Tax Group would be populated on sales transactions.  However, the tax rate of the Tax Group will be blank on the transaction since tax calculation is limited to Tax Codes only.

Sort SuiteScript Search Results by Two Columns

You can sort the results of a SuiteScript search by Two Columns.

Here is a Script Snippet to sort search results by Last Name and then by First Name:

var columns = [];

var column_firstname = nlobjSearchColumn('lastname');
var column_lastname  = nlobjSearchColumn('firstname');
var column_email     = nlobjSearchColumn('email');

column_firstname.setSort();
column_lastname.setSort();

columns.push(column_firstname);
columns.push(column_lastname);
columns.push(column_email);

var searchResults = nlapiSearchRecord('customer', null, null, columns);

If you wanted to Sort by First Name first then by Last Name, push the Last Name first into the columns array

columns.push(column_lastname);
columns.push(column_firstname);
columns.push(column_email);

FAQs on Changes to the NetSuite Import User Account

This article is intended for accounts integrated with Adaptive Insights, NetSuite's partner in delivering financial management solutions.


Once NetSuite integration is complete, data can be transferred from NetSuite to Adaptive Insights by the Import User. However, there are subsequent changes to that user in NetSuite which may invalidate the linkage between the two systems and cause subsequent data imports to fail. Below describes some possible changes to the Import User and its impact, if there is any:

  • Changing a user's password in NetSuite does not invalidate any Adaptive
    Planning/NetSuite linkage that refers to that user's credentials
  • Changing a user's default role in NetSuite does not invalidate any Adaptive Insights /NetSuite linkage that refers to that user's credentials
    However, changing a user in NetSuite so that they no longer have permission to access the data needed for import will cause subsequent imports to fail, and will require an Adaptive Insights Administrator with NetSuite Setup Administrative permission to update the import user to be a valid NetSuite user with the required permissions.

  • Changing a user in NetSuite so that they are no longer a valid user at all will cause subsequent imports to fail and will require an Adaptive Insights Administrator with NetSuite Setup Administrative permission to update the import user to be a valid NetSuite user with the required permissions.
